Right so yeah only John Rose is gonna get the title ... this is Jake by the way.
Decided to work on blood packs in our last double period because our film will look much more 15/18 rated if we get the slit throat scene looking well.
I was playing around with making blood earlier, didn't really get the viscosity (thickness) right or the colour. Just managed to make a pinkish liquid which was slightly thicker then water. I didn't wanna waste anymore flour or red food colouring so I decided to stop. Then I remembered I had some fake blood in this Halloween scream mask so I decided to go find it ... that’s when I had a brainwave.
With the mask is this heart filled with the fake blood which u can squeeze to spray blood over the mask. I was thinking:
Not to actual size...
If I cut the tubing and stuck it to the bottom of a knife, then as you squeeze the heart the fake blood would rush up the tubing and spray out of the end which is stuck to the knife. With the right practice and time you could film a really realistic scene as the blood would spray out and as the knife is moving it would look as if the blood was spraying from where the knife was touching the neck.
So yeah that little brainwave had me quite chuffed, as with a little practice I believe you could get a really realistic throat cutting scene if the sound was done well. It would also work wonders for the films verisimilitude.
By the way we don't both share the negativity for how our films gonna look, thats just James ... I've got much more faith lol.
